It’s an analog stereo plate reverb inspired by the classic EMT plate reverb first introduced in 1957. At just over 5 feet tall and 8 feet wide and weighing in at nearly 400 pounds, VOG provides a “shimmer” to recordings with the natural beauty of a real stereo plate reverb.

It also provides a detailed and rich warm analog sound, in contrast to emulators and plug-ins. Lightning Boy Audio takes a classic concept to a new level of high fidelity with our hand wired class A tube amplifiers.

The adjustable dampening panel on the VOG allows the reverb decay time to be set anywhere between 2 to 5 seconds, either manually, or with the optional motorized remote control.

The VOG driver amplifier is a class A, 15-watt mono tube amp that delivers rich single-ended tube tone and features passive EQ controls for bass and treble with also a volume control to push the reverb driver.

The VOG output amplifier is a class A, push-pull stereo tube amp with separate volume controls and offers the flexibility to connect to the FX return on a mixing board or to the inputs of an A/D converter for digital mixing. A matching pair of high-quality NOS 6922 vacuum tubes, a NOS 6X4 vacuum tube, and premium audio transformers round out the output amp.

Lightning Boy Audio recently completed a VOG install at Schwab Music, a mixing and mastering studio located on the north side of Chicago.
